Every step is a forward step

Sometimes it’s challenging to decide how to move forward and whether taking a particular step will yield the results we’re hoping for. During these moments, I find myself paralyzed, contemplating and discussing options with my husband. We think about our plans for the next few years and try to strategize accordingly. As a result, we’ve postponed many renovations on our current property because we were planning to eventually sell it and move back to Toronto. This was our strategy, but time has passed, and circumstances have changed. Recently, 1,800 people were laid off from my workplace. Although I wasn’t affected this time, it prompted us to reconsider our approach.

The future feels uncertain right now, making it difficult to plan every step and establish a concrete strategy.

In response, I’ve adopted a new intention: to embrace courage. To move forward and navigate the future with confidence. There will be numerous paths and scenic routes along the way. After years of relying on Google Maps, perhaps some less-traveled roads are precisely where we’re meant to go.

Recently, while searching for vanities for our bathroom renovations, we stumbled upon a couch at Structube that we both loved. Given how much we watch TV now, we decided to purchase it. We would have never discovered it if we hadn’t embarked on this journey.

Many individuals, whether through coaching or mentorship, grapple with questions of 'if/or.' Should I pursue this or that? It makes me wonder if our fears often hold us back. Perhaps it’s less about 'if/or' and more about taking action. Try it out, explore, and see what happens. If there’s a way to experiment with something without a significant commitment, why not?
